Well, he probably won't be spending a lot of Friday nights polishing his armor for starters... ;)

Sunite Cleric [-11]:

Take your normal DF Cleric template or whatever you're using for FR and add Proud [-1], and either a Delusion or a Vow along the lines of "Outward Beauty = Inner Beauty. Outward Ugliness = Inner Ugliness. Love and passion are to be nurtured everywhere, but people who find me attractive deserve my love the most" [-10].

Intolerance (Ugly People) [-5] or Intolerance (People who are not Attractive or better) [-10] would probably be common but definitely not required. A Sunite could be Charitable and try to help the fat, deformed, etc to "be better people" as they see it.

I can see that in a Sunite that's on the edge of "Good" and "Evil", leaning more to the latter, but not the average cleric. Some people just aren't born that way.

I'm going off the description on the FR wiki more than personal memory of the materials here, but it's a Chaotic Neutral goddess and the section on their dogma does kind of make them sound like they tend to lean toward douchebaggery on the subject of things such as birth defects (but focuses on the ability of beautiful but evil people to trick them because this is DF, natch).

Sune is a Chaotic Good god. It also says this in my Forgotten Realms sourcebooks.

Oh yeah, and Minimum Appearance (Attractive) for another [+4], duh. :)

Ah, I saw Neutral in the paragraph on the original write-up and missed that it'd changed, sorry. In that case, Intolerance would probably be a lot less common than Charitable, but they still have a seriously warped view on things IMHO.

Beauty is more than skin deep. It issues from the core of one's being and reveals one's true face to the world, fair or foul. Believe in romance, as true love will win over all. Follow your heart to your true destination. Love none more than yourself except Sune, and lose yourself in love of the Lady Firehair. Perform a loving act each day, and seek to awaken love in others. Respond to love at least once in a day. Encourage beauty wherever you find it. Acquire beautiful items of all sorts, and encourage, sponsor, and protect those who create them. Keep your own body as comely as possible and as attractively displayed as situations warrant. Let hairstyle and clothing best suit your personal appearance, striving to stir and delight others who look upon you. Moreover, hide not away, but always seek to present yourself to those around you in a pleasing variety of garbs and activities so as to move them with love and desire. Love those who respond to your appearance, and let warm friendship and admiration flower where love cannot or dares not.

Your point being...? IMHO, the belief that outward appearance reveals one's true face to the world is bigtime F'd-up. If you disagree, go with the Vow suggestion instead of Delusion.
